yes, please clarify the first post with the differences and advantages or disadvantages of each please
If you use this one, you cannot use fastboot commands. If you like to play with your phone, then use the another one. This one is somewhat safer, however. In worst case scenario it is not possible to brick a device by using this tool, although to be honest, the other one has very very strict safety measures, too.
Jonny, the ENG bootloader will also survive a RUU if you do not have radio s-off.
The first post here explains it:
Not sure why flashing a RUU which c...k.2C_SuperCID.2C_and_Radio_S-OFF"]Vision wiki as it has a lot of info about what's going on.
Do i get this right, if i restore the original partition and re-flash a official ruu my phone is stock again? Just want to make sure that i can go to stock, unrooted, s-on etc anytime ?!
I suggest you guys read the Vision wiki as it has a lot of info about what's going on.
I would do the normal S-OFF first. That is if you really need both of them.
Partition 7 contains radio settings but not the radio itself, as I understand it.

FAQ:
Q: Why is this Radio Tool, does it flash a radio?
- From end user's view, it has nothing to do with radios, the name comes from the S-OFF technique this tool uses.
Q: I cannot find "System Info" in SHIP bootloader
- That is normal, just refer to the CID list when reverting to stock.
Q: How can I revert to full stock, I have ClockworkMod and/or ENG S-OFF too?
- Just follow the S-ON instructions.
Q: Can I use ENG S-OFF with this one? Which one first?
- Yes you can, it does not really matter, but I would do Radio S-OFF first.
Q: Does no fastboot stuff mean slow device startup (no HTC Fastboot)?
- No, I am talking about issuing commands to the bootloader through USB.
Q: Is this Radio S-OFF permanent, does it go away if I flash RUU/factory reset?
- It is permanent until you remove it using this tool.
Q: I already had ENG S-OFF and I ran the tool, how do I find out if it worked?
- If you used the first option, see bootloader system info. There should be CID-11111111.
Q: I have now ENG S-OFF and Radio S-OFF, how do I get to stock?
- Just follow the S-ON instructions, everything will be back to stock.
Q: I have 1.72 or higher system, what should I do??
- Downgrade using this guide, or flash Raidroid if you already have ENG S-OFF & ClockworkMod.
Q: I tried to flash a radio, but it says not allowed!
- You will also need ENG S-OFF to flash radios, because ENG S-OFF enables fastboot commands.
Q: I want to make my device stock, I cannot find the RUU but I have a backup of the stock rom.
- Follow these instructions.
Checking the device state:
- Go to the bootloader (turn fastboot off, turn off phone, hold vol- and power)
- If it says ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF in the first line, your device is Radio S-OFF
- If it says ACE PVT ENG S-OFF, you have ENG S-OFF, go to System info
- If system info CID is 11111111, your device is SuperCID
- And if you can verify either Radio S-OFF or SuperCID (and you did both), it worked fine and you have both of them
- You can check your original CID by going to radio tool folder with cmd and typing: "adb shell getprop ro.cid"
CID list:
- Unbranded: "HTC__001"
- O2: "O2___102"
- Orange: "ORANG001"
- German T-Mobile: "T-MOB101"
- Vodaphone UK: "VODAP001"

Downloadcount:Troubleshooting:
- "Unknown error, probably connection"? See here, try with WiFi enabled.
- If that^ did not help, open a command window, go to the tool folder, and type: "adb shell" and "su". Then leave the window in the background, and run the tool again.
- "SD card failed"? When phone is connected to PC, check with some file manager that SD is accessible and works. Try another SD.
- Make sure you are rooted by downloading Terminal emulator from the market, write "su", '#' should appear.
- Check all the requirements. Twice. HTC Sync is mandatory!
- Keep your phone awake when you are running the tool, a superuser window might appear. You have to allow.
- Check your SD card, and tell us in the thread if a p7backup appeared on it.
- If it says Done and the CID does not change in ENG bootloader, you have most likely flashed too new radio.
adb shell
su (if you get permission denied, you have to do Visionary temproot)
getprop ro.cid (this will tell you your stock CID, we will use that later, so write it down. It has eight digits.)
busybox dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 (it will replace clockworkmod with original recovery)
busybox dd if=/sdcard/hboot_original.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (ONLY if you had ENG S-OFF, it will give you back SHIP bootloader)
sync (wait 10 secs after that, then you can close the adb shell window)
